Stroke Risk & Identification
![Page 3: Cerebral and Cardiovascular Risk & Identification](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56816439550346895dd60230/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Stroke in perspective 3rd leading cause of death Leading cause of serious long term
disability in the U. S. Women more likely to die from a stroke
than men On average, every 40 seconds someone
has a stroke
![Page 4: Cerebral and Cardiovascular Risk & Identification](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56816439550346895dd60230/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What a Stroke? Death of brain cells leading to loss of
neurological function Two types
Ischemic Stroke: blocked circulation to a part of the brain usually due a blood clot, often in a narrowed artery
Hemorrhagic Stroke: ruptured blood vessel, usually arterial, causing circulation loss to part of the brain
87% if strokes are ischemic and 13% hemorrhagic
![Page 5: Cerebral and Cardiovascular Risk & Identification](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56816439550346895dd60230/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) Temporary neurological symptoms in the
distribution of a blood vessel that blocks, and then clears
Usually develop stroke like symptoms that resolve in 60 minutes or less
Similar to Angina preceding a heart attack

Stroke Symptoms F.A.S.T. Face: facial droop on one side: ask the
person to smile Arms: Loss of coordination or
weakness/numbness on one side- hold both arms straight out from the body- does one drift downward?
Speech: Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence- was it repeated normally?
Time: Get to the Hospital immediately if any of the above are abnormal: Time is Brain

Stroke Symptoms Less common, but potentially stoke
symptoms: New type of severe headache Sudden Nausea/Vomiting Sudden sleepiness or agitation Ataxia- staggering while moving, clumsiness
![Page 8: Cerebral and Cardiovascular Risk & Identification](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56816439550346895dd60230/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Stroke Risk Factors Blood pressure: increased risk for blood pressure
above 120/80 Cholesterol: Should be less than 200 mg/dl Diabetes Smoking Diet: know your Body Mass Index- BMI less than 24 Exercise: cardiovascular fitness reduces stroke risk Family History: Increased risk if immediate family
members with heart or cerebral vascular disease at an early age.

Reducing the Risk of Stroke
Check blood pressure and work with a doctor to achieve BP less than 120/80
Have your cholesterol checked and work on reduction if elevated
Check for diabetes If a smoker, work on smoking cessation Drink alcohol in moderation
![Page 10: Cerebral and Cardiovascular Risk & Identification](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56816439550346895dd60230/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Reducing the Risk of Stroke
Have an ECG or heart rhythm evaluation to check for Atrial Fibrillation
Develop an exercise habit Enjoy a reduced fat and sodium diet
![Page 11: Cerebral and Cardiovascular Risk & Identification](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56816439550346895dd60230/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Medication that may Help Manage Risk
Antihypertensives- reduce blood pressure Antidysrhythmics- control Atrial
Fibrillation Anticoagulants- decrease clotting risk Anticholesterol/lipid medications Diabetic medications

Prevalence of Heart Disease
Affects 25% of the US population. Each year: Claims 1 million lives Cost $290 billion

Heart Disease in the U.S.2004- 1 of every 5 deathsEvery 26 seconds someone suffers a heart attackEvery 1 minute someone will die from a heart attack

30% do not know that they have High Blood Pressure
![Page 32: Cerebral and Cardiovascular Risk & Identification](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56816439550346895dd60230/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Achieve Desirable Blood Pressure
Reduce weight Keep salt intake to less than a teaspoon
daily- both added and in foods Assure eating plenty of fruits and
vegetables; low-fat dairy products Exercise Reduce stress Medications
![Page 33: Cerebral and Cardiovascular Risk & Identification](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56816439550346895dd60230/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Diabetes Single greatest risk factor predicting
heart disease
![Page 34: Cerebral and Cardiovascular Risk & Identification](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56816439550346895dd60230/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Diabetes contributes to: High Blood Pressure High LDL cholesterol High Triglycerides Low HDL cholesterol Irritates blood vessel walls
![Page 35: Cerebral and Cardiovascular Risk & Identification](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56816439550346895dd60230/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Diabetes Risk of developing heart disease: Women: 5-7 times Men: 2-3 times
![Page 36: Cerebral and Cardiovascular Risk & Identification](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56816439550346895dd60230/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Lipids and Lipoprotiens Good: HDL Bad: LDL Ugly: VLDL
![Page 37: Cerebral and Cardiovascular Risk & Identification](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56816439550346895dd60230/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Cholesterol Levels HDL
Women- 60 mg/dl or higher Men- 50 mg/dl or higher
LDL Normal 90-100 mg/dl Desire < 100 mg/dl In heart disease or diabetics: goal < 70 mg/dl
VLDL- highest triglycerides Desire below 20 mg/dl
![Page 38: Cerebral and Cardiovascular Risk & Identification](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56816439550346895dd60230/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Obesity and Heart Disease Extra weight adds strain to the heart and
cardiovascular system Since 1991 obesity has increased 75% 7 of ten adults are overweight Body Mass Index: BMI
![Page 39: Cerebral and Cardiovascular Risk & Identification](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56816439550346895dd60230/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Exercise and Heart Disease Active persons reduce cardiovascular risk
by 50% Opportunity to Exercise: OTE
Walk stairs Park farther from store front or walk/bike to
store Take walk breaks during the day Partner up: walk/run/bike/gym
![Page 40: Cerebral and Cardiovascular Risk & Identification](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56816439550346895dd60230/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Exercise Improves blood lipid profile Burns calories and reduces weight Improves blood pressure Improves blood sugar control Decreases depressed moods Decreases stress Improves energy and confidence

Tobacco and Heart Disease Tobacco use increases the probability of
Heart Disease Nicotine:
Speeds development of atherosclerosis Decreases HDL cholesterol levels Binds carbon monoxide to Red Blood Cells,
decreasing oxygen delivery tissue

Influence of Diet Polyunsaturated fats and
Monounsaturated fats- healthiest Saturated fats- less good Trans fats- the worst
![Page 43: Cerebral and Cardiovascular Risk & Identification](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56816439550346895dd60230/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
High fiber and low glycemic index
Fruits and Vegetables Whole grains Brans Unrefined cereals

Be Pro-Active Healthy Habits
Maintain healthy weight- BMI < 24. Physical activity Non-smoker Eating Habits:
Fruits and vegetables Low fat dairy Low total fat Avoid saturated and trans fats
